Gender Differences in Recovery: Insights from Doc Jacques
“Women really focus on their emotional experience of shame and sadness at their failing as a mother, wife, girlfriend, partner, employee because of their substance abuse and substance addiction. They shy away from the idea of the experience of that shame, and so they are less apt to engage in it.”
